Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord

Verse 1

Give thanks to God the sov'reign LORD; His mercies still endure! And be the King of kings adored; His truth is ever sure. What wonders has His wisdom done! How mighty is His hand! Heav'n, earth, and sea, He framed alone; How wide is His command! The sun supplies the day with light; How bright His counsels shine! The moon and stars adorn the night; His works are all divine.

Verse 2

He struck the sons of Egypt dead; How dreadful is His rod! And then with joy His people led; How gracious is our God! He cleft the swelling sea in two; His arm is great in might; And gave the tribes a passage through; His pow'r and grace unite. But Pharoah's army there He drowned; How glor'ous are His ways! And brought His saints through desert ground; Eternal be His praise!

Verse 3

He saw the nations dead in sin; He felt His pity move: How sad the state the world was in! How boundless was His love! He sent to save us from our woe; His goodness never fails; From death, and hell, and ev'ry foe; And still His grace prevails. Give thanks to God the heav'nly King; His mercies still endure: Let the whole earth His praises sing; His truth is ever sure.
